Toward Intelligent Cyber Physical Systems

Each research theme is multidisciplinary. Research is being conducted in, Research into Cooperative Intelligence includes areas such as how machines work, how humans think and use language, and how we interact with our environment. Research in AI with Cooperative Intelligence at its core may lead to research into humanity itself, and therefore, nature itself.

Frontier Robotics

One of HRI's new global research initiatives, Frontier Robotics, is exploring the development of an Intelligent Cyber Physical Society (ICPS) in which robots support and enhance humans' activities.The ICPS concept envisions a variety of robots that are connected to high-speed networks at home and in public spaces working together to perform activities that save time, empower humans to expand their goals, and provide empathetic support.

Cooperative Intelligence

Cooperative intelligence is the ability for machines to optimally use limited resources to achieve goals in complex environments together with others.
Even if the system is able to perform a task autonomously, cooperation can be desireable for several reasons. In order to have confidence or even trust in the system, we need to understand its state and intention.
